Have Faith Like Grandma
Pastor Blake Hanson | 7.31.22 

Galatians 5:22–23 (NLT)

22 But the Holy Spirit produces this kind of fruit in our lives: love, joy, peace, patience, kindness, goodness, faithfulness, 

23 gentleness, and self-control. There is no law against these things!

The Holy Spirit grows the fruit as we draw close to God. 

“Faithfulness is our business; Fruitfulness is an issue that we must be content to leave with God.” 

James 4:8 (NLT)

8 Come close to God, and God will come close to you…

Faithfulness: is a firm and unwavering loyalty and devotion to a person to whom one is united by promise or commitment. It assumes being honest and trustworthy. It requires actively following through on one’s commitments. 

1) Faithfulness makes great . 

2 Timothy 1:3–4 (NLT)

3 Timothy, I thank God for you—the God I serve with a clear conscience, just as my ancestors did. Night and day I constantly remember you in my prayers. 

4 I long to see you again, for I remember your tears as we parted. And I will be filled with joy when we are together again.

2 Timothy 1:5 (NLT)

5 I remember your genuine faith…

2 Timothy 1:15 (NLT)

15 As you know, everyone from the province of Asia has deserted me—even Phygelus and Hermogenes.

1 John 1:9 (NLT)

9 But if we confess our sins to him, he is faithful and just to forgive us our sins and to cleanse us from all wickedness.

2) Faithfulness God’s love. 

 2 Timothy 1:5 (NLT)

5 I remember your genuine faith, for you share the faith that first filled your grandmother Lois and your mother, Eunice. And I know that same faith continues strong in you.

2 Timothy 1:6 (NLT)

6 This is why I remind you to fan into flames the spiritual gift God gave you when I laid my hands on you.

2 Timothy 1:8 (NLT)

8 So never be ashamed to tell others about our Lord. And don’t be ashamed of me, either, even though I’m in prison for him. With the strength God gives you, be ready to suffer with me for the sake of the Good News.

2 Timothy 1:9 (NLT)

9 For God saved us and called us to live a holy life. He did this, not because we deserved it, but because that was his plan from before the beginning of time—to show us his grace through Christ Jesus.

3) Faithfulness never up. 

2 Timothy 1:16–18 (NLT)

16 May the Lord show special kindness to Onesiphorus and all his family because he often visited and encouraged me. He was never ashamed of me because I was in chains. 

17 When he came to Rome, he searched everywhere until he found me. 

18 May the Lord show him special kindness on the day of Christ’s return. And you know very well how helpful he was in Ephesus.

2 Timothy 1:15 (NLT)

15 As you know, everyone from the province of Asia has deserted me—even Phygelus and Hermogenes.

1 Corinthians 1:7–9 (NLT)

7 Now you have every spiritual gift you need as you eagerly wait for the return of our Lord Jesus Christ. 

8 He will keep you strong to the end so that you will be free from all blame on the day when our Lord Jesus Christ returns. 

9 God will do this, for he is faithful to do what he says, and he has invited you into partnership with his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
